BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
The recommendations relating to the
granting of the Los Angeles Develop
ment Company franchise on Seventh
street created some discussion.
Mr.. Kuhrts said that the fact was
that there were other companies in the
city who were trying to prevent other
companies from coming in. Mr.. Hyans
agreed with Mr.. Kuhrts. and thought 1t
was pity that the city had not the right
to its own streets. Mr.. Goss thought
that il there was doubt as to its legal
ity he should oppose the taking of imme-
diate action. Mr.. Kubrts thought that
it was strange that Mr.. Goss should all
at once have been struck with an idea
that something was wrong. Ii this one
franchise was laid over he moved that
all Others 90 over at the same time.
1t having been suggested that
an attorney be given the privll.
ege of speaking, Mr.. Jones opposed
asking the opinion of any attorney, Tor
the reason that it would take too much
time to get through with the business.
He did not want action staved of, and
he favored the granting of the franchise
right away. The chances OF getting any
other road in were growing small, and
the Council was committing an outrage
in delaying action so long. Moved and
carried, that when the Council adjourn,
it adjourn to Friday afternoon at two
o'clock, and that all franchises asked
for be taken up at that time.
